VICTORVILLE — A woman was struck and killed by a vehicle on Village Drive early Friday morning.

A call for a vehicle vs. pedestrian collision was received at 4:17 a.m., according to San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Cindy Bachman, in the area of Village Drive, just north of Vasquez Avenue.

"A 22-year-old white female adult was struck by a full-size GMC truck," said Victorville Sheriff's Station Cpl. Simon Demurri. "The GMC was driving south on Village and the pedestrian was in the No. 1 lane. The driver didn't see her until the last second."

The woman, who was a Victorville resident, was pronounced deceased at the scene, according to Demurri, who said the driver of the GMC remained at the scene and was fully cooperative with authorities.

"There were no signs of intoxication," Demurri said.

Village Drive was closed from Clovis Street to Llanada Avenue for several hours while the Major Accident Investigation Team processed the scene. All lanes were reported to be reopened as of 10:30 a.m.

The crash is still under investigation and anyone with information is urged to contact Deputy A. Hylin or Deputy A. Ramos at the Victorville Sheriff's Station at 760-241-2911.
